Melodyne for the blind: Using Melodyne ARA in Samplitude ProX with the Jaws script solution

Melodyne is hugely complex, especially when you're coming at it from a visually impaired or blind persons point of view. However, using the dedicated scripts created for the Jaws screen reader, many visual challenges have been overcome, hence giving unrivalled access to this amazing piece of software.

The Jaws scripts support all versions of Melodyne, (Essential, Assistant, Editor and Studio), along with all 3 useage possibilities, (stand alone, ARA integration and the VST plugin).

In this video, I demonstrate adding/re-opening Melodyne ARA to an object in Samplitude ProX. ARA stands for Audio Random Access and it's a great way to use Melodyne, as the ARA integration is particularly user-friendly. Among its advantages are that no transfers to the Melodyne plug-in are necessary, Melodyne follows all changes on the DAW track automatically, and that the DAW, too, enjoys the benefit of Melodyne's tempo detection.

Note: As of making this video, Celemony has released a new build of Melodyne, which includes the ability to audition in ARA. So, when I mention that auditioning isn't possible, well it is now. Please refer to the documentation for audition keystrokes.

The Melodyne Jaws scripts are partnered with the samplitude Access project. So, if you're interested in learning more, go here::
